POF Minuteman DI 5.56 NATO 16.5" Rifle 30rd Tungsten Cerakote

The POF Minuteman Direct Impingement rifle delivers precision engineering in a battle-tested platform chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO. This rifle combines Patriot Ordnance Factory's proven manufacturing with modern materials and finishes for reliable performance across multiple applications. The tungsten Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the rifle's professional appearance.

What Makes This Different

The Minuteman features POF's refined direct impingement system with enhanced reliability improvements over standard AR-15 platforms. The nitride-treated barrel provides extended service life compared to standard chrome-lined barrels, while the tungsten Cerakote receiver finish offers 70% better corrosion resistance than standard anodizing. The MFT Minimalist stock reduces overall weight by 30% compared to traditional mil-spec stocks while maintaining structural integrity.

Key Features

• 16.5-inch nitride-treated barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• Tungsten Cerakote receiver finish rated for 3,400+ hours salt spray resistance
• MFT Minimalist 6-position stock with anti-rattle design
• Threaded barrel (1/2x28 TPI) ready for muzzle devices and suppressors
• 30-round magazine capacity with STANAG compatibility
• Mil-spec trigger group with 6-8 pound pull weight
• Full-length Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy with quality ammunition, typically achieving 2-3 MOA groups with match-grade loads. The direct impingement system cycles reliably with both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles, making it suitable for competitive shooting, law enforcement applications, and sporting use. The nitride barrel treatment maintains accuracy through extended firing schedules while resisting fouling buildup.
